Guardian UA - User's Enhanced Perception of Interactive Art Objects Through the Use of Augmented Reality
Diana Kononets
GUARDIAN UA is app which distinguished by its unique emotional concept and respect for Ukraine's cultural heritage.
Each user can not only scan the objects around them with their phone's camera, but also take an interest in them from anywhere in the world. This is not just an app that tells about general historical information - it is a guide that turns ordinary pictures into impressions and emotions.
Much attention is paid to raising awareness of Ukraine's cultural heritage. Each site has its own page with detailed text, photos, audio and video accompaniment, which brings everyone closer to the uniqueness of the historical aspect and traditions.
The news section is constantly updated with information on the status of sites and destruction in different cities of Ukraine. Users have the opportunity to share their thoughts, views and emotions.
The Guardian UA goes beyond enriching cultural experience. It becomes a platform for interaction and assistance. Through it, users can make charitable donations to restore cultural heritage sites. Everyone who has the app becomes part of a community that unites to help restore unique historical gems.
The app serves as a tool for exploring the environment and objects and provides users with ample opportunities to interact and learn new things.
